Going where the climate suites my Clothes
The Morning Dew opener is what we used to call a good omen. Go with this copy for sound which pay dividends especially from Bird Song onward is trippy
...
gooey Phil Zone ,Jerry laden, Weir singing, Donna in my Ears Keith in harmony, Bill keeping time I mean seriously tune after tune, I am referring specifically to Bird Song, Playing, Eyes>Stella (Stella rare cadence on the lyrics from Garcia) Big River, Here Comes Sunshine Around & Around, Dark Star>He's Gone>Wharf Rat>Truckin'>Sugar Magnolia.
this is in my top tier of 1973 shows . Have to give this a full on five stars yes they may have had some early first set triple digit heat index stops and starts but what a difference a day makes as this is swinging from the rafters material. Deep in the Dark Star which is sublime like a Cat who has a mouse just where she wants him. I am wondering if NED is involved here the atonal edge might be Phil but it very well may be Ned, Meanwhile Garcia is shredding the time space continuum and I am getting that meltdown vibe Pretty cool to hear the He's Gone rising out of that major dissonance. Credit to Donna she has been there for all the key vocal transitions. He's Gone>Wharf Rat is outside the standard list Note: Billy uses his sticks to keep the harmonies in He's Gone from getting away from the band. If you were there and called Wharf Rat I would shake your hand. My opinion is Jerry was feeling it, Somebody blowing a whistle but might be audience maybe foreshadowing a patiently revving Truckin' Weir keeps this Truckin in order until the band melts and then another surprise> Sugar Magnolia lights in from back stage. and by the time they get into Sunshine Daydream they bring down the house! Set Three Rare as it comes in 73- Train to Cry When I caught this in 91 seemed like Garcia went more uptempo but this heavy blues fits -Last Train to Jacksonville JGB feel That's all Right-seems like Elvis or Zeppelin set list but Jerry got that mojo working and about 6 minutes in we get Dickie Betts in the mix, Talk about a complete full circle recap of the festivities. Somebody from ABB calls for Johnny B Goode but Weir goes with Promised Land. It might just be me but Promised Land does not have much stretch to it but credit to Dickie he finds a groove and Garcia plays the edges with Merle way up in that mix. Not Fade-good idea gives Butch Trucks some skin time. This is as close as we can get to an old school NFA in 73 Clocks in at 11 minutes and just boogies. Betts super distinct on his riffs Meanwhile either Garcia or Weir is restating the line in an echoing crescendo The GDTRFB-Thankful Donna gets to sing on this one! Get up and let the drummers go.. I Knew Jesus (Before He Was A Star)" Well funny it seems as how everyone knows him now Suddenly they have found someone who's been around Back to the fold they come seeking his wisdom from a far I knew Jesus before he was a superstar Well you know I'm a believer in all that he's ever been Stories I've read of him things that were said of him Songs that they glorify I used to play on my guitar yes I did I knew Jesus before he was a superstar I've known his goodness and mercy for all my days I've seen his blessings around me in every way In times of trouble when I had no hope in view Who brought the sunlight the one light that I knew Oh yes I knew he was always there answering every prayer Fame will not change him much he won't be out of touch Great as he is today big people stay the way they are yes they do I knew Jesus before he was a superstar I've known his goodness... I knew Jesus before he was a superstar I knew Jesus before he was a superstar Glen Campbell E) A seriously slamming rocker Johnny B .

5 star rating
This is a HUGE show. First, consider that it’s an enormous stadium and it’s the summer of 1973. The first set harkens 8/28/72. Well played. Great
...
song selection. They are listening to each other and for each other. The rest straddles the primal and carefully delineated Dead. As the Greeks say when you see the architecture of 2000BC. It’s imperfectly perfect. PITH to end that set is fantastic and inspired. Eyes is huge. Everything cooks, and that Dickie Betts jam session in the last set is magical. Please consider that Jerry and Zappa were the only guitarists who consistently explored the unexplored and free styled their way through uncharted territory. Each show till’90 consistently tested new ground. Criticism for this show is unwarranted. Stellar show in every way. Playing at cavernous RFK and quibbling about sound levels? C’mon. Phil is present. Good separation here. Loved Billy’s jazz drumming. The songs that are difficult to make a difference with are great. TLEO is 1973 great. Jack Straw sounds like’72. All the covers are in the groove. A DS. We lived the Dead because they took chances and were imperfect like us. Transport yourself and let it all go. Dance like nobody is watching. This cooks. And for that reason…
This was my third show, (yes, I'm getting old) -I'd already been enveloped in the joy of the day before. Got some good photos on the ninth. It was a very
...
special afternoon and night- I'll never forget it. The performance live was definately better than what you get from the SNBDs loaded here. They were so ON I was in heaven. I drifted here and there only about 30 ft. from the stage, dead center. Listening to the first few bars of this Morning Dew again literally gives me goosebumps. The day before was amazing, and I hardly expected them to surpass it, but they did. I'm a big fan of Birdsong, largely for the jams they did within it, and this one is the longest I know of...beautifully rendered. PITB follows to end the first set, and by this time it was completely dark...and we all got a mind-blowing surprise. Right when the final bars of Playin' started, the refrain, someone in the sound booth out in the audience set off some major fireworks. So, during the final chords of the song, we get this visual extravaganza, everybody with their heads tilted back, gazing up in major euphoria. Even though a bit of the magic from how extremely tight they were is lost in these recordings, it's still a great stream, especially Charlie's transfer. Buy yourself a really good desktop stereo if you haven't already, and enjoy!

Contrary to the review below
This Soundboard is probably less dry and sterile than most and is infinitely more pleasurable to listen to than the audience recording available on IA.
...
The fact that sound board recordings do not capture the "ambience" of the room or in this case the outdoor stadium is not do to incompetence but is just the nature of the recording method as the microphones are placed directly in front of the speaker cabinets and not hundreds of feet from the stage. The boys do seem to be under the influence of some sort of stimulant to my ears. Im going to give this a four.

Skip the boards , isten to the audience
Unfortunately the board from 6-10-73 captures none of the majesty of this concert. It is truly remarkable how exceptionally poor handling of the soundboard
...
during this period (72-74) can actually disguise great performance. One would never guess from this recording that the Eyes of the World contains such exciting and dynamic playing that it deserves to be mentioned along with established and universally acknowledged great jams like 2/27/69 Dark Star (Live Dead). It is truly a monumental jam. You have to scrap the SB and listen to the audience tapes to really "hear" this concert. [I was there.] There are some weak points, where whatever Jerry smoked or snorted between 1st and 2nd sets began to wear off. The Dark Star is also remarkable, up to the verse before Jerry deteriorates into spastic doodling mode. Things start to fall apart here and also in Wharf Rat, where Jerry is clearly in need of another snort... Most of the show is excellent. It is most notable for the jams. Besides Eyes and Dark Star, terrific Bird Song and Here Comes Sunshine. Playing in the Band jam is typically uninspiring as it was during this period. Great song choice overall, but again, there is no joy in the soundboard. It sounds completely sterile. The standard 'wisdom' on this show is that the final set with Allmans is the highlight. Nonsense. The second set is a true standout, in my opinion the very best of the year, mainly because of the unequaled Eyes. One more time: LISTEN TO THE AUDIENCE. Four stars because of incompetence on the soundboard.

Does anyone know? We come together to listen to some friends play some music and we remain friends some 30-40 yrs later.... was it the weed... was it

the times.... was it the power of exploring independence... maybe...it is in the chord ... that long extended chord that wanders across valleys and heights in order to find that perfect extension of self ... the soul looking for a definition of itself ... but there really is nowhere to look ... because it is here ... Mr Miller .... unto you be greatness ... your work is holding me together ... So many times I have looked and seen your name ... To everyone at the archive .... a honkin' good thank-you from a friend you'll probably never get to meet .... But you guys will always be ... because we will always be looking for that chord ...
